Hello together, this bug was and is killing me for several hours already! In a nutshell this is going to re-sort your load order. At any time you restart Vortex or install new mods or update existing mods. Its p... in the a.. ! My only weapon right now is, once the load order is fine and I can start the game and load my save, to switch to desktop and make a copy of the game's "modsettings.lsx" file. Usually to be found at: C:\Users\XYZXYZ\AppData\Local\Larian Studios\Baldur's Gate 3\PlayerProfiles\Public folder. If I want to replay BG3 and start Vortex again, it can happen if you update a mod or install a fresh one that the load order bug occurs and some mods or one mod are locked at the top of the order. If this appears to happen, just relaunch Vortex till no mods are locked anymore. You may have to start and stop Vortex XX times. Frustrating as hell. Once, if there are no locks visible, click the "Purge Mods" option in Vortex Load Order screen. Then, open your copy of the "modsettings.lsx" file and copy everything and paste it into the original "modsettings.lsx" file. Do not forget to save the file! Then switch to Vortex and press "Deploy Mods". Now an unlocked and nearly perfect load order should appear with the latest installed or updated mods on top. Then re-sort the few new or updated mods to your liking. Once your load order looks finished switch to the orignal "modsettings.lsx" and copy everything and paste it into the copied file as a kind of a back-up. At least the above procedure ensures that I am not loosing all my effort to the this bug with regards to the load order. I play BG3 with 160 mods right now. I use Notepad++ to open the .lsx files. Best Regards Torsten
